Add another IT security blog to the list (after all of the SC Magazine Blogs, of course). Google launched its own online security blog this week.

It’s bound to be met with some cynicism – ask Microsoft about some of the feedback it’s received for efforts to make headway on security issues.

But the Google Online Security Blog is off to a good start, detailing the recent study by the Mountain View search giant that was often misrepresented in the business press to say that a full 10 percent of the World Wide Web is malicious. Today’s post by Panayiotis Mavrommatis and Niels Provos of Google’s Anti-Malware Team puts the figure closer to 0.1 percent.

Considering some security issues Google has faced lately, we’ll be sure to keep an eye on it.
